The Chick-fil-A Spring Menu Features A New Drink & Returning Favorite

When you think of spring, you might think of baby chicks. Or just chickens. Or chicken sandwiches? With the weather warming up and Daylight Savings Time coming up this weekend, it’s officially time to spring forward with anticipation for the Chick-fil-A spring menu. The popular fried chicken sandwich joint recently released its springtime lineup in preparation for the season, featuring one beloved food option returning and a brand new family of beverage options. Here’s everything you need to know about the new Chick-fil-A spring lineup for 2025.

What food is on the Chick-fil-A spring menu?

The Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Sandwich is back, and better than ever. Originally released in 2017, Chick-fil-A has not offered this item since 2022. For the five years that the Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Sandwich was on the menu, it was only available with grilled chicken — but now, customers can choose between Chick-Fil-A’s original fried, spicy fried, and grilled chicken.

This sandwich features a juicy chicken filet, topped with bacon slices that are tossed in brown sugar and black pepper. Along with a slice of Colby-Jack cheese, lettuce, and barbecue sauce, Chick-fil-a’s Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Sandwich is sweet, tangy, and smoky. It’s definitely reminiscent of a block party or outdoor barbecue in the park, and perfect for the springtime weather.

What new drinks are on the Chick-Fil-A spring menu?

With the returning of an old goodie comes the release of a brand new one — or four, to be exact. In addition to the Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Sandwich, Chick-fil-A also announced the debut of its Pineapple Dragonfruit beverages, which put a tropical twist on four existing Chick-fil-A drinks. The sweet, juicy flavor of pineapple mixed with the unique, subtle flavor of dragonfruit make a great and refreshing combination.

Chick-fil-A’s Pineapple Dragonfruit Frosted Lemonade combines natural pineapple and dragonfruit flavors with the company’s Chick-fil-a Lemonade and signature Icedream dessert. This mix creates a slushy texture, also made creamy by the Icedream. Ideal for a long drive or catching up with friends, this icy drink is refreshing, smooth, and sweet.

The Pineapple Dragonfruit Lemonade mixes Chick-fil-A’s beloved Lemonade with pineapple and dragonfruit flavors. This is a tangy, fruitier drink.

The new Chick-Fil-A Pineapple Dragonfruit Iced Tea merges Iced Tea (either sweetened or unsweetened) with, you guessed it, pineapple and dragonfruit. This creates a nice and subtle fruit tea full of juicy, tropical flavors, and tbh, you’ll wish your local boba shop made this.

Lastly, CFA’s new Pineapple Dragonfruit Sunjoy blends the best of the two previous drinks. A combination of Chick-fil-A’s iconic Sunjoy drink (aka a combination of the chain’s signature Lemonade and Sweetened Ice Tea) with pineapple and dragonfruit, this drink is sort of a tangy, sweet, and tropical tea that is well-balanced in all of its flavors.

When will the Chick-Fil-A spring menu be available in restaurants?

Chick-fil-A is set to release the Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Sandwich and Pineapple Dragonfruit beverages in stores and for mobile ordering via the CFA app on March 17, so mark your calendars and prepare yourself for a smoky and tropical meal.
